lirik lagu nakiyyah - message to my kings
[verse 1]
look, i got a message for my kings
i know the world’s against you
but keep pushing, i see blessings for my kings
see they gon’ try to block you, try to stop you
but the pressure you gon’ bring
will have’em stuck ’cause they couldn’t intervene
and if you don’t hear it enough, just know i love you
and i know at times you wanna give up
this life’s a tussle, but keep going
i see strength in you brother like flexing muscles
ain’t no giving up this hustle, gotta make it
take your kids up out this struggle
see look, i’m raising me a young man
and i try my best to teach him all i can about this world, about they plan
about how he can be a victim, cause the color of his skin, he’s only four
but it’s never too early to let him know
so i make sure to tell him that i love him each day
and he’s the smartest and no one could ever take that away
i wish that i can hold his hand the whole way
but i can’t, i gotta let him out into the world and pray he’s okay
[chorus]
n0body ever said that life would be easy
oh, i know, i know you’re hurt, i know you’re pain
believe me, what you waiting for, you gotta take control
of your life, your life, your life, your life
of your life, your life, your life, your life
[verse 2]
aye, i got a message for my kings
don’t give into the system
see they want you out here doing reckless things
they wanna catch you riding around with drugs
and label you as a thug
they quick to sweep a life under the rug
they looking for a reason to arrest you
a system that was built just to oppress you
if you black they don’t respect you
it’s a shame after 400 years, we still let it
it’s a shame we gotta teach our kids to feel [?]
it’s a shame if you black in this world, they feel threatened
it’s a shame they can take a life and call that sh~t discretion
sh~t ain’t funny cause i got five brothers don’t take em from me
say a prayer for my blood every sunday
it’s like if the streets don’t get you then the cops will
see they don’t really give a d~mn until the cops k!ll
until we start a riot and start behaving like the animals they say we are
d~mn i know this message ain’t gone get me far
[chorus]
n0body ever said that life would be easy
oh, i know, i know you’re hurt, i know you’re pain
believe me, what you waiting for, you gotta take control
of your life, your life, your life, your life
of your life, your life, your life, your life
[outro]
and i know you feel the world is on your shoulders
gotta keep heat cause the world is getting colder
broken mothers that’ll never get closure
young black kings that’ll never grow older
and we keep asking for the same thing
but that don’t never seem to change things
we all should matter that’s the main thing
but say a prayer for my people, care for my people
i got a message for my kings
i got a message for my kings, my kings
i got a message for my kings
i got a message for my kings, my kings
